I cover the American Latino experience with a focus on leaders and entrepreneurs.

FULL BIO

As a proponent for equality, frustrated with this country’s current political landscape, I came to AL DÍA to spotlight the achievements and challenges of Latinos in the Philadelphia area and beyond to advance what we describe as the “undocumented narrative” – the positive stories of the Latino community, which are all too frequently overlooked by mainstream media outlets. My work has appeared in The Philadelphia Inquirer, Philly Weekly and Philadelphia City Paper. Before joining AL DÍA in 2017, I was a staff writer for the Florida-based Observer Media Group. I’m a Norristown native and graduate of Temple University.

At the first AL DÍA Forum, Deborah Santiago, co-founder of Excelencia in Education, showed representatives of higher education institutions how they can help close the attainment gap for Latino students.

The Greater Philadelphia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce held the "State of Hispanic Business," a symposium dedicated to the current business climate for Latino-owned businesses in the Philadelphia region.
